-- I was speaking this morning with a dear teacher of 40 years experience. She does tutoring of remedial English at a junior college. She was literally in tears about what has been done to our kids' ability to even express themselves adequately, and they don't even realize it. --

That is sad and frightening. And the kids coming out of Baltimore ...

Baltimore City schools -- five high schools and one middle school -- were found to have not a single student who scored proficient in math or reading in 2016

This is a serious cultural and social issue. Government schools, like government in general, cannot be trusted to be competent, and may very well be designed to cause failure.

perhaps they are to be organ donors...

That’s true. I hope many of those promising lives can be salvaged. By God’s grace they will be!
